5:00 am
[000:00:00;00] to transplant you know from one soil to another for me i relate to this more deeply so i want a bright world for my children that 's all i want a bright future and secondly for me well somehow well i'm not as mature as others maybe i don't know how i will call myself a patriot of ukraine as foreign forges. there was an armenian woman. i don’t know where it comes from. people can say different things, but it’s difficult. i , like any ukrainian woman, will think that i am there for someone there. i am very strange and here i have my own, but i am here your own and leave the country you love and the society you are used to the mentality to which you are used to and everything and start from scratch once again i'm not ready yet i don't know what else has to happen for me to be ready for this i don't know let's leave my girlfriend for a little bit so that all of you
5:01 am
will be if we fight our children protect yours this year year machines with the government, we saw how ordinary people become extraordinary heroes, how in the hell of battle new ukraine is born, the ukraine that you protect, our relatives, friends, neighbors, colleagues , you were not always military, but you were always ukrainians, you are our pride and our hope
5:02 am
, this year we survived thanks to you year indomitability together to victory it's hard to keep your body when the children are at the front, what's up but everything is fine they got out without casualties it's hard but it's worth it blood can fight the ministry of health invites ukrainians to become blood donors every healthy adult citizen of ukraine or a foreigner with a
5:03 am
residence permit call to the blood center in your city to find out about the need or register at the moment on the platforms donor.ua or helsi.me and plan to the nation today the ukrainian air force is simply incredible in struggle with russia, so i have reason to assume that these talented men and women will be more than ready to accept the challenges of mastering the new marshal backwell system . of the event that it would also like to receive western fighter jets, the leadership of britain, the united states
5:04 am
, and germany have already stated that they are not considering such a step yet. do you consider it a realistic prospect that ukraine will receive these planes, i think it is realistic, moreover, it is extremely important because you cannot enter this war in one dimension, you need enough weapons to protect the tanks of the ground troops and the population, and not only now, but also in the future, as far as i am concerned, this is important. i understand certain political challenges and i'm sure we'll discuss them again during the interview but i think it's possible and we should
5:05 am
do it now of ukraine and why is it too self-confident if i were to make this choice, the choice would be for ukraine, but if you look at the options, you need a lot of aircraft, a well-established supply chain with a good industrial base that can continuously service the aircraft, you need a model capable of performing as many tasks as possible, an aircraft that can perform air and air ground as well as countering enemy air defenses in addition you need aircraft that are relatively easy to learn to use with good layout and systems that can be relatively quickly integrated into the air force. i believe that the f-16 fighter best meets all these requirements. there are better aircraft in the children's fleet, but in general it is a universal option. it is like a midfielder in football, someone who can do a little bit of everything and does it well . of many countries that can and do not mind providing them to ukraine , which countries will be key in
5:06 am
making a decision, obviously, since we are talking about the f16, it is the united states, but maybe some other countries , the first question is which countries are ready to provide aircraft, the good news is that in europe there are many fighters 16 are in service and over the next few years, some countries plan to replace them with the f-35, for example, that is, there will be many available aircraft and they will be everything on the go, so the main question is whether these countries are ready to provide them potentially. this aircraft can be provided by others, i will not name because i believe that the sooner there is a joint solution, the better, otherwise we single out some countries and then they are attacked by russia. the usa plays a key role in this process. they sell these planes by surrendering
5:07 am
where can they be sold later their the voice is important, the planes are equipped with technologies that they want to protect, after all, this is an american plane with american networks , support, the plane manufacturing factory is located in the usa, the supply chains are also mostly concentrated in the usa without american support, in theory everything would be possible, but of course much harder i think in the end , without american support, no avoid planes it is not necessary to deliver from america , the process may be approved by america, but planes may come from a third party , there may be such a way, again, you can remember as president biden said that the us is not yet considering the transfer of fighter jets to ukraine, when do you think it could happen
5:08 am
, what are the prospects for ukraine here, the question is whether the us will transfer the f16 to ukraine, biden was asked , it seems, when he was about to board the helicopter he answered no, but i took it as something specifically, he will not send planes, i did not take it as decisive, that it cannot be done in a different way, as far as i am concerned, the challenge is that countries such as the united states, great britain or germany will remember the history of tanks, everyone is worried about what can and what can not be done in order not to cross the so-called red line with russia, in order to prevent escalation, i do not think that it is necessary to apply the approach of a gradual increase in armaments , joint efforts are airplanes, tanks, artillery , etc., and provide part of it, but not all of it it is unfair, moreover, all this is intended for defensive purposes to protect ukraine and not for an attack on russia, the sooner people
5:09 am
realize this, the sooner they will stop perceiving it as if nato is providing aircraft and not a number of donor countries. sooner we will overcome the belief that there is some red line to allow russia to decide everything, a mistake, how long will it take ukrainian pilots to transfer from a soviet fighter to a western amen, go directly to the execution of combat missions. the ukrainian air force is simply incredible in the fight against russia, so i have reason to assume that these
5:10 am
talented men and women will be more than ready to accept challenges and master a new system, this system differs in many ways from the soviet equipment that they used before, but i have already worked with ukrainians and know that they learn tactics very quickly and understand the operation of the system, designed for ease of use , many of their systems are automated and very powerful, experienced a military pilot could start using such an aircraft in 6-8 weeks, it will just take a little more time, but we can help with maintenance and remotely, we could provide headsets for video communication with specialists who know the system and know how to correct errors, a lot of such planes are repaired very easily, no need to mess with a wrench i am convinced that we can do it in a few
5:11 am
months, someone says that it will take from 6 months to a year or more and uses it as the excuse is that we don't have enough time, but a whole year has passed, we could do it twice already regarding the infrastructure from the summer lane , will we have enough time from the moment of the decision to provide the necessary infrastructure for, for example, f16, a valid question the construction of airplanes is quite complex, but at the same time they are very durable, if you use them in difficult conditions, they will last longer than you think , of course, you cannot do without infrastructure for takeoff , you need a runway of a certain length and quality. i am not familiar with the ukrainian situation well enough to understand how easy or difficult it is to do this, but the planes are not too heavy, they do not need
5:12 am
fancy take-off and landing strips, their lower part is a little narrower, so the surface of the landing strip must meet the requirements, but the ukrainians are fighting on their native land, so the weight of the plane, the fuel or the flight range are less challenges than the russian side, the spokesman of the ukrainian air force said that about 200 fighters are needed , how many could ukraine get, for example, if there was a positive decision regarding the f16 how many such planes would realistically get, i think this figure it is quite justified and such a number of planes will be found to manage a fleet of planes not simply at the same time all 200 planes are not used planes must be serviced use each at its own time hardly all 200 always some will be serviceable, some will need to be repaired, some will fail completely, but if you think about the long-term perspective
5:13 am
, of course, in the west, we all pray for peace and for ukraine to regain all its territories, but you will probably have to defend your country from attempted aggression in the future and such i think the number of planes was not too much for ukraine, even in peacetime, let alone wartime. in my opinion, this is exactly what we should strive for in the long term . it depends on the ukrainians. how quickly they will be able to integrate 200 fighters into their air force. therefore, it will be a challenge, but 200 aircraft is quite a realistic number, and in combat, if we recall the situation with western tanks, ukraine will receive at least three types of tanks, abrams challenger and leopard. should ukraine follow this path? fighters, if we assume that there will be no consolidated decision regarding one type
5:14 am
, for example, f16, the question is, i think if ukraine had a choice, you would not have followed this path, i can only imagine how worried the uzs logisticians are now about the need to manage three very different types of tanks, the abrams tank , for example, has a jet engine, it is as difficult or maybe more difficult to control it than the f-16 fighter, new equipment, new challenges , it is difficult to control different types of tanks. really copes well with most tasks, so it makes sense to use only its air forces of certain countries use one or two types of weapons but i believe that ukraine does not need a headache in the field of logistics and
5:15 am
training is connected with attempts to control two different types of weapons, i would remove one thing and more, however, i assume that if you are offered 50 aircraft of one type and 50 of another, you can agree to take what they give you , but i would do otherwise, i think ukraine is also better, one more question regarding the f16 and how do you rate this fighter if you compare it with what russia uses against ukraine , two points should be highlighted here: first , the capabilities of the aircraft, and secondly, the chosen tactics, my point of view is that f 16, the older model will invent for 20-30 years ago, however, its electronic weapons systems, sensors and missiles are the most modern, they are very effective and have proven themselves well, in my opinion, they are a more than worthy answer to russian equipment , the main difference is in the design and
5:16 am
use of aircraft, our method of fighting is flexible and diverse, such as in ukrainians, russians fight very predictably, very stupidly and directly, at least how much money did you spend on the plane, at least somehow convince yourself that it is the best if you do not train tactics that used these powers to the maximum you will not go far. i am almost sure that the f-16 will be a more than worthy answer to most russian aircraft, at least those that fly over ukraine or nearby , in general, western fighters could change the situation on the battlefield of the russian-ukrainian war. i believe that the use of the 16 will also affect first of all, for two moments , a powerful signal from russia was received. if the west is ready to give everything it has and must continue
5:17 am
to give until ukraine finally defeats russia, this signal should be heard. not necessarily putin, but certainly the russian people should hear that they will not win this war, i think they will be very nervous because of planes like the f-16 - this is a powerful signal for ukraine , we will take care of you, we will give you everything you need, and right now, a year after the beginning of a difficult, dangerous, desperate and cruel stage in the war, ukraine should know that we are two fundamental points, even the very offer of providing aircraft would help put them on the agenda regarding the impact on the battlefield, i think this will keep russian aircraft away, which means that the battle will move to the plane of the earth, the ukrainians have eloquently demonstrated that they can cope with direct combat, this
5:18 am
levels the playing field and also deters russia from trying to do something else, this could and should help to cope with attacks on your infrastructure and population, and i know that this is not will change the course of the war instantly a few f16s will not help win the war right away, but they will still be important at least equalize the positions in the tactical battle the flow at the strategic level i think will be huge and it will become a powerful signal the west requires from ukraine's agreement that it will not use western weapons on the territory of russia, we have also heard that regarding tanks , for example, in your opinion, such a requirement will remain that politicians can say such things about fighter jets, but
5:19 am
most politicians are not former soldiers , sailors or pilots and do not understand the complexities of modern war weapons so that russia can attack you with its territory so that it is unfair to attack them in return is a delicate balance between rational just and legitimate defense this may mean hitting from time to time the entire within your borders, this does not contradict international law, some may perceive it as ukraine's intention to attack russia , but it is not about offensive, but about active defensive potential, the cross-sections of certain stocks must be said so, america will probably be worried if it falls into the hands of russia in 16, however, f16s are sold at the whole world has been around for 30 years and
5:20 am
russia probably already knows enough about them , so here we are primarily talking about whether this is considered a red line for russia and whether the dynamics on the battlefield will change if attacks are also carried out on russian territory from with the help of equipment provided by the west. i believe that if russia does not want its system to be attacked on its territory, then it should stop shelling ukraine from its territory. russia already has the ability to shoot down ukrainian fighter jets with long-range missiles from its territory or from the territory of belarus. the question arises if we will have these restrictions or this will not at least partially eliminate the possibility of using fighters for self-defense , of course there are several systems, one of them is also in
5:21 am
ukraine s300 and s400 are the most modern systems air land that russia has in its arsenal, they have an incredibly long range, they can fire at ukraine from the territory of russia , trying to hit one of these systems with the help of an f16 would be quite dangerous , it is possible that there are other ways to disable these systems, for which it is not necessary to use an aircraft. i understand the problem is not only the entire 300 or s400 . russia declares that it is also using long-range r-37m uks missiles against ukraine. i don’t have access to all the information, so i don’t know how effective this system was. yes, it has a very long range, but a long-range missile launched from a long distance is relatively easy to shoot down, there are several tactics that can be used without putting yourself under attack f16
5:22 am
is that the f-16 will also have its own long-range missiles, i guarantee that a russian pilot who has 100 hours of flight training on year and the plane that his boss does not want to endanger will be very nervous approaching ukraine if he knows that there is an f16 nearby and his anxiety is justified, you mentioned the red lines when making decisions about what to do with weapons sun can you explain to our audience what is the fundamental difference between the transfer of tanks to ukraine and the transfer of fighter jets to ukraine, i share your disappointment because i also do not see the difference, it is presented as a purely defensive weapon that protects ukrainian borders
5:23 am
and cannot go beyond them, in fact, the tank has a fairly large radius actions if you fill it with enough fuel it can cover quite a long distance and in any case it is a killing machine to destroy russian soldiers and tanks so the idea of that this is a nice friendly warm and cozy weapon is just funny if you understand modern wars then you know that the presence of purely tanks or air defense without tanks will determine certain limitations you need a cumulative effect that is why our armed forces have this whole set of tools to be able to win in in every sense of the invasion when the tanks got stuck on the road to kyiv we in the west saw this as a target western weapons removed this obstacle we were upset when we saw that you could not or
5:24 am
did not have the tools to do this consider that the use of fighter jets is a scalation that will supposedly bring you one step closer to a russian war with nato or even worse to a nuclear war , how crazy will putin and the russian attacks now be answer: article 51 of the un charter allows states to resort to individual or collective self-defense. collective defense means cooperation with other partners until the un security council resolves the situation, however, we know that the un security council will not be able to solve the situation because russia is a member of it, article 51 gives permission for collective self-defense a and b 16 will be used
5:25 am
for self-defense, everything is simple, so when we talk about red lines on this issue , we are talking more about certain psychological red lines, i do not know what conversations are held between politicians they communicate sometimes they can threaten each other saying if you do this i will do this and that sounds terrible but this is such a serious game of poker understand how real someone's threats are i will be honest over the last year russia has demonstrated extreme weakness and inability to do what it expected to achieve very quickly, they barely reached where they are now, of course, this is mostly the merit of ukraine, but there is also the factor of russian incompetence, russian weapons turned out to be not as effective as we thought, what about nato? if i were
5:26 am
russia, i would start worry and would try in every way to avoid a confrontation with nato, well , an interesting fact is that ukraine will already receive dreamstone missiles from the west, as i understand it, they can be used to arm western fighter jets in particular in your opinion , this can be an additional argument in ukraine's negotiations with the west regarding fighter jets, they say, we already have missiles for your fighter jets , they can. only the carrier, i think the problem here is not in the carriers, of course the plane can fly to a certain distance, has a certain combat radius and theoretically can fly into the territory of russia , however, ukraine will use planes
5:27 am
and other types of weapons extremely intelligently will take care of them will take care of their safety it will also mean not to use them at full range not to use them against russia on russian territory because it can cause difficulties so yes you already have the weapon so why accept what is the platform for its use marshal bakewell thank you to you for the interview, we are strong in our struggle for that, we are even stronger in the unity of the unity of the whole world hand in hand side by side at the same table your ukrainian svobody is with us today from dozens of
